- I’ve followed the Mediterranean diet for years, and I meal prep to save time and money.
- Protein dishes, like fishcakes and meatballs, are versatile and can be used in different recipes.

I have followed the Mediterranean diet for over five years.
It’s been ranked the healthiest diet for seven years in a row and focuses on the consumption of lots of unprocessed foods and healthy fats. Common ingredients people on the diet eat include vegetables, seafood, whole grains, and beans.
